Villanova Medical Outreach trip to Panama, Summer 2018



Evan's Message

To: The agents of change, reviewing authorities, and the inspired.

Dear Reader,

If you have read this this far I am impressed. I am sitting here in awe because you have surely realized that I am going to ask you for money, and you have yet to exit the page. My hat sincerely tips to you all (at least the ones that didn’t just click away).

Hi, my name is Evan. I am a junior Psychology and Humanities double major in the College of the Liberal Arts and Sciences at Villanova University. Navy blue is my favorite color, I love being an EMT, I sing in the shower, and I am in committed relationship with coffee. For as long as I can remember I have wanted to save humanity, even if I did not know what from. While I am still working on how best to service humanity, I think that I have found a pretty great way to service a few humans.

“Volunteers Around the World (VAW) is an NGO (Non-Governmental Organization) devoted to improving the standard of living for those that live in some of the most poverty-stricken areas of the world” (VAW). The programs ultimate aim is to inspire pre-healthcare students who are passionate about service to ignite change globally, by providing us with hands on experience in country. However, this amazing opportunity come come at a rather significant finical cost - that is where you come in. I am asking that you to help me take this forward by donating, if not for my education as a citizen of the world, then for the betterment of the lives of the patients whom I will be servicing.

Respectfully,

E. Jenkins

Volunteer Activity Description

Join the Villanova Medical chapter as they lead a Medical Outreach trip to Panama this upcoming Summer! Volunteers will work in mobile medical clinics, where they will have the opportunity to intake patients, conduct public health surveys, take vitals, shadow local physicians, work in the pharmacy, teach education classes, and much more! If you’re interested in joining, contact us for more information!

VAW at Villanova University will be opening up mobile medical clinics for local communities during their time in Panama.

One of the most exciting and important parts of volunteering with VAW is bringing medication to the less fortunate. In 2017, VAW treated over 35,000 patients and we aspire to treat over 45,000 in 2018. One of the things that make our mobile clinics unique is that we not only triage and diagnose patients, but also provide them with the basic medications needed. Fundraising for medications is a huge part of creating a successful mobile clinic to help the local communities with effective care.

**Note: airfare goal will be updated once flights are purchased, tentatively the week of February 1-8.
